17. Sick and wrong

as for the pregnancy being carried to full term - its an ethical minefield. Not so much because of abortion per-se, which I of course have no problems with whatsoever, but because one could validly ask if a ten year old girl is in a position to make this decision for herself, not least because at that age she is bound to be under a lot of pressure at home to do what her parents want her to anyhow. On the other hand, the idea of the doctor or indeed her parents deciding for her seems... well more than slightly unpalatable. So I just don't know...
